C-5 Emblem paint color?

An overzealous detailer scuffed my rear emblem on my 2003 C-5. I’d like to touch it up rather than replace it. Does anyone know the color code for the emblem (Silver 50th).

I used Duplicolor NG FM 341 Silver Frost on my '04 emblem and it was a perfect match. You might want to compare yours' to an '04 but I'm guessing it's the same color.

I have a 50th AE and had to touch up my emblems. There are actually a couple of threads on the forum about this already, but to save you the trouble - 2 paints (below) are extremely close. I've used them both and they are both good.

2003 C5 Anniversary Emblems Touch Up Paint: Duplicolor NG FM 341 (Scratch Fix 2in1, Silver Frost CC, TS, Ford).

Testors enamel paint silver pen (number 2546) matched the silver exactly.

The DupliColor one is a very good match to the '03 emblem color.

Sounds crazy but the Silver Sharpie Matches almost exactly. That's how I touch up mine. 2 seconds it's as good as new. No paint to deal with

I couldn't find the pen but the paint worked great (Testor's 1146).

My 03 coupe had the same issue and that Duplicolor Silver Frost did the trick. Here's before and after:
